Hummels fordert Konsequenzen, aber: Nagelsmann würde weitermachen | Deutschland - Paraguay

Hummels demands consequences, but: Nagelsmann would continue | Germany - Paraguay Germany is out – for the third time in the round of 32, so to speak. "Ultimately, that's clearly not enough again," said Joshua Kimmich after the elimination against Paraguay. Kai Havertz also spoke out clearly. With his fifth World Cup goal in two tournament appearances, Kai Havertz had brought the German national team back into contention in this round of 32 match against Paraguay and, at the same time, equaled Franz Beckenbauer and Lukas Podolski in this category. Understandably, this didn't bother the Arsenal player, who had only lost the Champions League final on penalties against Paris Saint-Germain (3-4) in May. "There's not much to say, I'm a bit speechless. My second World Cup, two busts," said Havertz, the striker who was already frustrated after the group stage exit in Qatar 2022, on ZDF. "The last tournaments were nothing." In that same breath, the former Leverkusen player also addressed the fans in the stadium and those watching on their screens, who he felt were justifiably disappointed: "The only thing I can say is: I'm sorry. We're all disappointed, of course." The team had high hopes, the 27-year-old added in a monotone voice: "To disappoint again now is obviously not a good feeling." Nadiem Amiri, who had come on as a substitute and scored in the penalty shootout (unlike Havertz and Nick Woltemade and Jonathan Tah, who also missed their penalties), echoed his teammate's sentiments: "I'm kind of shocked, I'm at a loss for words... Of course, our aim was to advance today. But we didn't manage it. So congratulations to Paraguay, they gave it their all on the pitch once again." Sympathy came from numerous TV pundits – including Christoph Kramer ("It simply wasn't enough in any aspect to win a World Cup match where everything is on the line") and Per Mertesacker, a member of the 2014 World Cup-winning team. Mertesacker told ZDF: "Two years ago, people were joking that we'd have to wait two years to become world champions. We can completely forget that statement. We have to work hard to earn everything again. For those who haven't grasped it yet: We played against the weakest team in the group stage. The great footballing nation of Germany needs to take a good look at itself. Many people will have to ask themselves if this is the standard German football deserves." ► Subscribe to the channel so you don't miss any more videos! ► Subscribe to the channel so you don't miss any more videos! ► ...
